# RepCount vs GymBro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GymBro at none against RepCount's 6. GymBro also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). RepCount's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. GymBro asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for RepCount against 5.0 for GymBro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of RepCount's written reviews are positive against 100% of GymBro's.

RepCount ships an update every 10 days, GymBro monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
